LOCKED-IN HYDRATIONHigh temperatures remove the moisture in your hair, stripping the goodness needed to keep it strong and healthy. Inverse conditions your hair by locking moisture deep inside each strand, keeping it in a beautiful, healthy state for longer.

SMOOTHER FEELINGNourishing your hair from within results in a silky-smooth feel. With Inverse, hair becomes easier to brush, style and manage – giving you ultimate control.

RESTORED HEALTHDamaged, lifeless hair can be difficult to restore to health – using sub-zero temperatures, Inverse can help restore your hair’s natural lustre. Inverse repairs your hair at a micro level, giving you healthy hair from the inside out. Unlike heat treatments, the more you use Inverse, the better it gets.

STRONGER HAIRStronger hair, less breakage –it’s that simple. Inverse directly strengthens each strand of hair with elevated hydration and deep restoration within the fibres. Your natural hair will shine and flourish.

BETTER DEFINITIONProlonged use of the Inverse will hydrate, revitalise and heal your hair, giving you better definition and less fly-away. Colour of the hair is improved, curly hair falls naturally in groups instead of separating into thin, frizzy strands and all hair types have an increased, noticeable shine and well polished finish.

LASTING EFFECTSCooling down your hair straight after heat treatment can help achieve a more permanent set. Using Inverse after heat styling means you can spend less time fixing up your hair and more time enjoying your day or night.

The scienceIt’s no secret that high temperatures fry our hair, killing moisture and damaging it almost beyond repair.

Our behind-the-scenes team discovered that if you treat hair at icy cold temperatures, the fibre itself changes; locking in moisture improving strength and elasticity within the hair. As a result you get healthy, soft, shiny, naturally gorgeous hair. Pretty cool huh? Here’s a bit of a breakdown.

HOT STUFFAt 47°C, longitudinal cracks start to appear, with lifting of the cuticle. At 95°C, multiple cracks, holes and hazy cuticle edges appear. As temperatures continue to increase, thermal degradation occurs causing white hair to yellow and bleached hair to darken. Hair then begins to toughen, as water is stripped from the hair.

Temperatures upwards of 150°C cause damage to 18-methyl eicosanoic acid 18-MEA, which is important for healthy hair! Hair that loses this will become knotted or matted more easily. Not good!

COLD MAGICAnd what happens when you use sub-zero temperatures? Between -8°C and -3°C moisture is rapidly absorbed into the hair fibre, creating an enduring elevated level of hydration in the fibre. Prolonged use of sub-zero temperatures help restore dry and damaged hair to its former glory. Welcome to hydration heaven!

THE PROOF: BELOWCuticles that were once fused together have been revitalised with more definition and vibrancy. Images are taken with a 10kV scanning electron microscope at x900 magnification.

INTRODUCTION TO INVERSE - 15 -- 14 -

How it all startedInverse is the brainchild of David Roe, an innovative New Zealand hair stylist who started experimenting with ice as a conditioner.

His curiosity was sparked when his wife rinsed her curly hair with ice-cold water with surprising results; more definition and shine, soft and smooth to touch and naturally falling curls. He knew something pretty darn cool was happening.

BREAKING TRADITION Heat styling causes damage and quick fixes just aren’t enough. Our hair is crying out for some love; there has to be a better way to repair your hair without wasting chemicals, time and money. Why create barriers to the damage, when you can stop it all together? What if we could restore highly damaged hair in a natural way? What if frizzy, uncontrollable hair became soft and smooth?

After being inspired by ice’s transformative power, we committed ourselves to discover a way to restore your hair’s natural beauty in a way that fits seamlessly into your daily haircare routine. We dove deep into scientific research to find the optimal temperatures to treat hair and prototyped, tested and redesigned a device to deliver sub-zero benefits to your hair.

And so Inverse was born. Harnessing the power of ice, our ground-breaking pioneering product gives you beautiful hair without the synthetics, heat-damage, breakage, and fly aways. Inverse is the cool new way to irresistibly healthy hair – and the more you use it, the better it gets.

Before and afterLong, short, damaged, coloured, natural, styled, straight, curly and more. We tested it all. Here’s what some of the girls experienced while trialling Inverse for 30 days.

YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GIRLS AND THEIR EXPERIENCES ON OUR WEBSITE INVERSEHAIR.COM

STACEYStacey’s hair was damaged from constant use of heat equipment. After using Inverse, her hair had reduced frizz and stayed straight for longer after styling. She also felt it brought out the colour and highlights in her hair.

LORRAINELorraine wanted a healthier way to restore her colour and heat damaged hair. Inverse made her hair feel softer, smoother and fuller. She even stopped colouring her hair because she didn’t want to affect her ‘new’ hair.

EVELIENEvelien wanted to find a way to manage her hair without using heat tools. She noticed a ‘massive difference’ in just two weeks, with her normally dry and frizzy hair feeling soft and smooth. She even started wearing it down again!

LOUISELouise has very curly, UV and heat damaged hair and wanted a way to manage her tight curls without using nasty chemicals. After Inverse her hair felt lighter, smoother and she found her curls much more manageable.
